My review:

- very stable,

- one night and no battery....:( it's very sad...

- alarm doesn't work... i was late to work...

I think that battery issue is coused custome launchers coz my friend using stock JPY and when he inatalled ADW his battery disappeared in one night, just like mine....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] freakdahouse:
Alarm works well here but I miss the daily references (don't understand why they removed), and battery seens nice with stock launcher.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] duongla:
I have the same issue but AFAIK this has been known before, not specific to this rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] m4ssnet:
why official thread it's deleted ??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skibbi_pl:
But it worked fine in Froyo (JS3/5/8) :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omeryounos:
+1.... It's so sad......a lot of useful information has been deleted....(i agree their was a lot of repetition there) but still it was a good knowledge base....:confused:

Why XDA deleted that thread? I was @ 130th page and when i click next page, it said "invalid link" :( :( very sad...... not fair @ all

No you've just flashed your phone! Give the battery time to settle down
[Galaxy S I9000 General] krazykat:
Accelerometer for me. Just doesn't work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hookguy:
Flashed with repartition and 512 pit. Very fast, I'm pretty happy with it. I don't have a lagfix on it but I rooted it. Best battery life so far. Only lost 20% in about 10 hours with some 3G and some games, normally I would lose 50% doing the same thing, so I'm pretty happy with it :D

Haven't found anything that doesn't work, accelerometer works great, but haven't tested GPS (though GPS was awful in the Froyo builds I tested)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brotuck:
After the first 24 hours:

- Called at least 1,5 hour

- Tested a lot of games. NFS, Pocket god, Angry Birds, some more

- Used Wifi to load a lot of my stuff back (market)

- During the night only lost 2%

- Used my alarmclock (worked fine)

- Turned gprs on during the day, push mail enabled. Data sync on.

- Now after 24 hours it is still at 56% !

The best ROM so far in my opinion

Did not experience any lag (200+ contacts browsing went fine)

-Flashed with bootloader

-Installed the latest kernel from supercurio (the one with other memory settings)

-Installed the frameworkfile for screen tv switchoff

-Made little adjustments to the build.prop myself
[Galaxy S I9000 General] r3ap3r:
Stock browser is laggy when tapping to zoom and not that smooth as opera mobile...

Anyone can confirm or what should I do?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sigzero:
Exactly same here, quite annoying but I will stay with this ROM as everything else is simply stunning.

br,pawel
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sigzero:
Working in my case (I can see and manage my Exchange calendar), but as someone earlier mentioned email counter in notification bar keeps counting up.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] omeryounos:
stock browser is working better than any froyo stock rom....dude compare stock to stock...opera mobile is a different ball game.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] buntoo:
Yes you're right... But don't compare it with OPera/dolphin/anyother but with stock one.. It is not smooth like it was on XXJPY....

Also the application drawer flyover movement is quite laggy and XXJPY is the only stable/smooth stock rom uptil now... So i flashed back to it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] r3ap3r:
@up

Yes, rendering is much faster then before, but laggy when zooming
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xarxiusxiii:
Well, I thought I'd add my views:

What doesn't work?

For some reason I can't do the two finger rotate in Google Maps (not really a problem since I never used that anyway), but everything else is working fine. Auto-rotation is working great :).

How did you install it?

I downloaded the version with boot loaders, and flashed it using Heimdall (I'm on Ubuntu 10.10).

Are there any problems so far?

Apart from the Google Maps problem, not that I can see.

General performance?

MUCH better than 2.2.1. I came from Darkyy's 9.4, and whilst that was really good, this blows it out of the water with speed and smoothness. I didn't realise how slow the notification bar was before, on 2.3.3 it is seriously smooth. Couldn't be happier :D.

GPS?

Well I've not tested it whilst moving, but it did seem to lock on a lot quicker than 2.2.1.

Battery life?

...I'll edit this once I've tested the phone for a few days :p.

I can really recommend installing this, it's the best experience I've had using the phone ever.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omeryounos:
For two finger rotate on Google Maps, put two fingers & move horizontally across the screen parallel to the button rows.....the maps will rotate....it's a new rotate function in updated maps....hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dk206:
Stock browser...omg BLAZING FAST.

Battery life unblievable. Started the day at 9am.

3G+, 1~2 hours calling, 5 text sms, a bit of mega jump and now 8:41pm still 65%!!!!

Will give a full review after I've done +36hours.

pure stock jvk

no root/diff kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omeryounos:
Running for 50+ hours now...all stock ...no root / mod etc...zero problem.....zero FC......no bug found except for the same minor problems i mentioned in this thread in my earlier review post....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boliveira2:
It does work, but it's a little different than it was in 2.2.1. In 2.2.1 it was more natural to get the rotation, because you do the rotation movement you want with your fingers and that's it. But I'll live with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omeryounos:
I totally agree with you, previously it was more user friendly....i don't know why google changed it....but as U said ....we have to live with this till google changes it......;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xarxiusxiii:
Thank you! Didn't realise that :)

Battery not "calibrated" - we don't have real facts on this one yet, so consider this our best guess

Explanation: It is said that the battery looses track of it's capacity (or rather the phone does) so it needs calibration.

Fix #1: Always flash new ROM:s with full battery.

Fix #2: Follow the guide TechnicR have on recal:

· Turn phone off and charge till full

· Start recovery and wipe battery stats

· Reboot and start the phone

· Use it heavily until it turns of by itself

· Connect charger and turn on the phone and wait until fully charged

Battery level drop to 95-98% when disconnecting charger

Explanation: We are used to that the battery is 100% chraged when we disconnect the charger, but with 2.2.1 we gat anything from 95-98%.

Fix: Not needed, this is a change in the charging cycle to prolong the life of the battery, but please take this in consideration of reporting battery drain, start counting from the actual value and not from 100%

also u can check this for more details.

Great leak overall, waiting for the ultimate official release from Samsung

Improvements:

-Camera : picture quality seems to be better

-GPS : faster lock

-Battery : better battery life

So far I have encountered the following issues:

-Voice Search : FC

-Voice Dialer : lack of precision

-weaker WLAN signal strength

-touch keys backlight always on with screen on

Missing features :

-native Android 2.3 SIP stack missing :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] freakdahouse:
Touchkeys backlight is not a bug, sgs 2 does the same thing, I saw it in a video review.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] fomofo:
First thing I've noticed since flashing JVK (PDA + MODEM, CSC from JP5 Froyo)...

was the substantial increase in battery life, fair dinkum, it's like chalk and cheese.

With all firmwares prior, I'd charge the night before, and by late arvo it'd be down ~mid 50%. Now, with the same phone use, I have ~low 80% daily.

Granted I haven't re-installed all previous apps, but I always shutdown background apps and services anyway.

I'll keep an eye on it.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and it boots now in around 15secs...up to a minute previously.

Samsung, a huge company, finally releases something..... Now, who hates SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wcg707:
Installed the sbl version and the root with CF-Root.

So far everything is working as it is and great battery life especially with Bluetooth On 24 x 7. Usually it wont last me more than 12 hours with BT, and now after 8 hours, still has 70% with HSDPA and Wifi all activated.

Haven't done any game yet but I think 3D will have some issues based on Quadrant which display 3D tests in grey color. Quadrant scores, who cares.

Sound test, not so good, BT headset producing low quality audio using stock player. Will add powerAmp later but I doubt it will be better since Voodoo Sound not integrated yet.

Going to put this baby thru audio/video test later.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omeryounos:

XXJVK graphics error running quadrant 3D tests

Hi,

I have installed I9000XXJVK (Second link file download from www.samfirmware.com) via Odin, 3 files 512 pit with repartition option. Next rooted the phone using method given on first page.

Issue is, that when I run the Quadrant (Advanced) test, in 3D corrodor test, the design is blank of the floor and the walls. Its all blocks with no pattern on it. Is that an issue with every I9000XXJVK or should I reflash my device. (I have hard reset my cell once but no change). Everything else works fine.

Anyone with identical Issue ??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] minervehp:
I tried CM7 and got a fastest phone ever, but the camera and FM radio suck.

I also flashed JVK but the speed is slower.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] colindodds:
Well my only issue with jvk is ram hungry as jv1 is mabeys ram leakage or something just ram runs very high

I flashed it with 512 pit file and with out re-partition ticked in ODIN on 2.2.1 XWJS5 ROM (not yet rooted)

anything wrong in this ? everyone seems to have Re-Partition ticked..

[Galaxy S I9000 General] omeryounos:
It is strange, i almost done the same procedure as you described except i had done factory reset /format internal SD in start on earlier JS8 stock. For me no corruption of graphics in Quadrant....I have run it like 8-9 times since install.....May be try re-flashing, format internal SD / Factory rest first......or may be first try without the root......
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omeryounos:
Time to recalibrate the Battery....Use this excellent thread....Follow the procedure on 1st page.....battery stats are always disturbed after flashing a rom / kernel...It will take at least 3 -4 full charge / full discharge cycle to correct it...

I have installed 2.3.3 formware (samfirmware.com) via Odin, 3 files 512 pit with repartition option. Not rooted phone.

Everything seems to works fine, only a little problem with screen brightness because, in auto mode, is not stable as 2.2.1 firmware... a little flicker.

My Quadrant score (full test): 995
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AlexVat:


I also have the exact same issue. I think it's a bug of this beta ginger. Also a lot of apps keep starting/running in background even if I use a task killer. They start again just 1-2 seconds after I've closed them:-( Not very nice...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
I am on the 2nd cycle now. I'll observe then if the battery will improve after the fourth cycle. I was previously on JPY (no root, no lagfix, just stock) and it usually last about 100 hours per battery cycle. I hope my battery will last even longer with this ROM...

By the way, thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 5nakedoc:
I popped this on a few days ago. I also popped on the off screen animation and the green icons. All seemed fine until I made a call last night. The phone sort of locked during the call. Screen only displayed the samsung boot logo and the sound was coming through the speaker as if I had put in on handsfree. I was unable to terminate the call but the phone crashed anyway. Worse still was I was unable to boot it again. I had to reflash as it would hang on the samsung logo screen. I have not added the the lock screen logo or icons this time and see if that helps.

2.3.3 work great in my Galaxy

This ROM look very fast.

Emails that sync with Exchange work great and fast.

I have no issue with GPS / Wifi or switch between Wifi / 3G.

No issue with any application I'm using.

No issue with multimedia.

Problem with RTL for Hebrew and numbers in some applications like SMS / WhatsApp.

The number written in wrong order, e.g. instead of 40 I'm getting 04

Still problem to sync contacts with my Exchange server, same issue I had with 2.2 and don't understand what is the problem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
2.3.3 is great. Had a few issues trying to flash that framework-res.apk and got stuck in a boot loop like 6 times and had to reflash all over again in odin, but after that I got it working all sweet... was using a corrupted framework-res file.

Its fast. Starting to like TW launcher again now that its not so laggy. I installed the battery mod and screen off animation (so awesome), changed the messaging (mms.apk) to the stock android 2.3.3 one (I can't stand samsung's SMS app).

GPS is great. Signal is great. The best rom and modem so far. I reccommend this for anyone who has a Galaxy S to install.

Looking forward to see what magic Darky and the other ROM modders can work with this awesome stock rom! We need TW4 or stock gingerbread launcher, a transparent notifications pulldown menu, lagfix (ext4) and all the other usual tweaks..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wasubi:
Very fast rom, smooth transitions, better than any other 2.2.1 rom. Also would like to comfirm that the Nexus S Microbes live wallpaper works great with this, maybe has something to do with the rom being based 2.3!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] westcoastricho:
Rom working fine. Very speedy, although no apps really installed yet to speak of apart from the defaults. Installed via Odin, no pit, no re-partition, without bootloaders, rooted phone.

*****problem though, had Voodoo 5.4.1 kernel, put on gingerbread without bootloaders because i wasn't sure to begin with. Now i am getting the graphic corruption during boot, also all contacts and apps are gone, as well as all inbox messages etc. Is there any way to undo the install back to froyo and get my apps/messages/contacts back (i'm suspecting unlikely, but hoping anyway).

Also otherwise to fix the corrupted boot screen if i now installed the 2.3.3 with bootloaders would that fix the problem? apologies if posting in the wrong thread, any help would be appreciated, or pointing in the right direction.*****
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
ohhh.. and stock 2.3.3 gingerbread keyboard, samsung's stock keyboard and swype are rubbish!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mike.sw:
imo swype is far superior then any stock android/samsung keyboard. you can easily type with it just like normal ginger keyboard... and the alt keys are not just accessible from top row.

can someone tell if there's any difference in BT quality? on froyo and eclair i always suffer from "clicks" in sound during calls via my jawbone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eric75004:
Flashed the rom yesterday, and deoxeded this morning.

Browser:

The best browser we have seen so far, but still limited to 4 open windows.

Then you might like my contribution:

XXJVK unlimited Browser Tabs

I did it for froyo before and I find this extra feature useful to use the phone as an internet tab.

GPS started to work fine on the afternoon, but i did not really tested outdoor before (indoor, or bus).

One the first lock got (20 second), the next are almost immediate. i did not change any .conf.

have you rooted the phone as yet? if so have you tried deleting /data/system/ms3c_yamaha.cfg

[Galaxy S I9000 General] curioct:
So I can be clear here you have been able to apply voodoo lagfix and audio and video hacks?

Did you run any benchmarks? Quadrant etc?

I only ask because people seem to be going nuts about it as standard benchmarking at 950ish I see 1400+ on 2.2.1 stock with voodoo lagfix so if that is not possible yet it makes it a no deal for me unless I can apply the lagfix as well (regardless of battery life extension)

I dont really understand the correlation of kernels with android versions so I dont know if this is even possible until supercurio updates for 2.3.3?

i dont reakky like this release. everything works alright but battery drain is insane. idle drain is acceptable but even mild browsing on 3g drains like 10% per 5 Minutes. Thats just not acceptable. I did not flash the bootloader. maybe thats why people's opinions on this rom are so different?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hybridesque:
Flashed on Saturday Night from XEU JPY/JPY/JPY (after doing a merry go round from JS7 to JPO to JPY because I wanted to get my phone sim-unlocked while in JPO). I forgot to take my sim card out though lol but had no ill effects, lucky me. I wiped the phone, data wipe/factory reset and formatted internal sd card before attempting the JVK flash.

No dramas when flashing with Odin 1.3 either.

The firmware seems smooth, slick. I like the new battery usage reporting. I had no idea Facebook before that was using up more power than the display alone! Turning off the widget for that solved that at a stroke. I feel like the phone could now possibly last 3 days (with Juicedefender).

All my apps are working fine, along with the few games I use. Only slight irritation is that there's no prompt for mode option when connecting via USB.
